Known Information

Viviene speaks ten languages and has a modest reputation in parts of Eisande as a polyglot and diplomatic sort. She inherited her Baronnie under suspicious circumstances that have lead to some sordid rumors and financial troubles for the House. Despite this, she keeps an upbeat persona.

Background

In her childhood, Viviane earned a reputation for her polyglot tongue and affable demeanor. In her late teens, she became the known as the black sheep of the Draix line of Valais for disobedience to her mother. Rumors and gossip abound, but most focus on a disagreement between the two about her role in the family's political future. Months later, her parents and eldest two siblings were attacked by pirates. As the new Lady of Draix, Viviane paid repeated ransoms to the pirates, despite their inability to provide any member of her family. Rumors seized on this, with some speculating that it was hush money for an assassination that would put her in charge. Some loyal house servants maintain her innocence, but elaborate no further.

In recent days she has come to Marsilikos for reasons not made public.

Inspiration

Brilliant blue eyes pair with dark hair to give the impression of Shahrizai coloring, at first blush. On closer inspection, her dark brown hair falls short of the marker of that Kusheline bloodline. She has a thin-lipped mouth given easily to wide smiles. Long lashes frame wide eyes, perpetually round in a look impressing either bewilderment or innocence. Demure shoulders slope to an overflowingly full figure of curves so lavish and excessive that they appear gaudy. A few simple brass and pewter rings adorn the slender, soft-skinned fingers of each hand, and comprise a constant presence on her person.

Quirks:

Upbeat: Viviane has a sunny disposition one could characterize as unflappable.

Pirate Animosity: Except toward pirates. She hates pirates with all of her being.

Clueless: Viviane has no sense of subterfuge, politics, competition, or when someone may not have her best interests at heart.

Polyglot: She speaks ten different languages, including d'Angeline, and has shown that she can pick them up with relative ease.

Viscious Rumors: With how greatly she benefited from her family's death, her convenient absence from the ship, and the exorbitant payments she sent to the pirates after the fact, rumors of her involvement have circulated.

Debt: The Baronnie of Draix has become terribly indebted. One bad harvest could mean forfeiture of the land to the Crown.

Diplomat: For all of her flaws, she has a talent for linguistics and a genial demeanor.
